Some ’spy shots’ of the 2007 SRAM X.9 parts

Only days after the first shots of the 2007 Shimano mountain bike lineup started surfacing online, SRAM has weighed in by releasing some shots of their own.

Pinkbike.com published a press release from SRAM’s Eric Schutt showing pictures of the new X.9 shifters and rear derailleur. The information is pretty humorous because it reads as though the pictures are top secret and were released without authorization.

With tongue firmly planted in cheek, Schutt says “A well positioned photographer snapped some sneak peaks of some of our new X.9 gear.” There isn’t much as far as hard information goes, but it looks like the new X.9 lineup will close the gap to the X.0 lineup, which is good news for more people looking to make the jump from Shimano.

More information is expected to be released at next month’s Sea Otter Classic.

Wow!!! It looks like Shimano is learning from their attempt to corner the market with Dual Control levers and a strange reverse shifting. By doing so Shimano opened the door for SRAM to become a huge player in the market. The 2007 Shimano line up is an attempt in damage control. However, it appears that SRAM is ready to take things one step further with their X.9 drivetrain platform that mimics the now superstar X.O. lineup. I feel that this is going to be a huge year for drivetrain improvements.
